I think the only hope for some sort of conviction on something now, considering the prosecution really mishandled the trial, is for him to drill home the fact that Kyle knowingly had possession of a firearm he didn't have the legal right to posses, transported it across state lines illegally, then claimed he was there to lend medical aid and put out fires. Since when does it take an AR-15 to lend medical aid or put out fires? I think the prosecution needs to drill that home during the closing argument.
My bet is the murder charges won't stick, unfortunately. But at a minimum he should get felony's on the possession and illegal transport charges. That might stick. It would also prevent him from ever owning a firearm for the rest of his life.
